Is this dress too much like a wedding dress?

To wear to a wedding?

Dress

Fraid so.

LadySybilLikesSloeGin · 15/03/2015 22:56

yup.

SteppeAwayFromTheKeyboard · 15/03/2015 22:57

yes. Lovely shape though, pity they don't do it in another colour

oneowlgirl · 15/03/2015 23:03

It's lovely but I agree with the others, too wedding-y to wear to a wedding. In another colour & that would be great!

This is the problem I'm having - all the shapes/styles I like are either white/cream or black (or worse, white lace...) where are the pretty summer dresses?! Wedding is abroad, a week on Friday!

Dye one?

thenightsky · 15/03/2015 23:10

Was going to say dye it... but saw it was 100% polyester so that's a no.

SteppeAwayFromTheKeyboard · 15/03/2015 23:14

actually I have just looked at the main dress page for asos and there are quite a few on there which would do. I am hopeless at links, but there is a stunning black and white striped (looks better than sounds)

floral midi slater dress, floral strapless prom dress, grey/white off the shoulder in a very pretty floaty over skirt and more

Can you link the grey/white one at all? I know the stripe one you mean, it's on my list! I'm avoiding floral if possible, although would consider if not too cloyingly sweet...

SteppeAwayFromTheKeyboard · 15/03/2015 23:16

very similar style to yours but different colours?

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 15/03/2015 23:17

Yes.

Have a look at Lindy Bop.

SteppeAwayFromTheKeyboard · 15/03/2015 23:18

grey white one, but it is floral

Fruityflapjack · 15/03/2015 23:18

Phase eight have some lovely dresses in that kind of style at the minute. I can't link as I'm on my phone, sorry.

SteppeAwayFromTheKeyboard · 15/03/2015 23:20

think this is the right link this time

Thanks Steppe, it's a lovely shape but a bit floral for me...love the style though.

OP posts:
SteppeAwayFromTheKeyboard · 15/03/2015 23:23

this is the skater dress I meant

hey hey look at me doing links!

SteppeAwayFromTheKeyboard · 15/03/2015 23:26

Ok so I know this is floral, but very striking

I love this dress

Obviously it is hard without knowing you and your style, but if I was a couple of stone lighter, this is a dress I would love to wear

MairzyDoats · 15/03/2015 23:28

Oh now THAT I like...

OP posts:
SteppeAwayFromTheKeyboard · 15/03/2015 23:28

there are more, but they are mostly floral. I see your problem if you don't want that.

Poor ASOS delivery man isn't going to know what has hit him!

SteppeAwayFromTheKeyboard · 15/03/2015 23:36

I have just noticed that last one is listed as being in their tall range, but it is on there a few pages on without the tall tag, so I assume it is available in both

MsAspreyDiamonds · 16/03/2015 04:00

I like some of the dresses here but might be a bit too cutesy for you maybe......?!
